Fans root for Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen to escape the Night King's wrath
As the final season of HBO's 'Game of Thrones' knocks on the door, fans have cast their votes for the couple who they think will survive the ultimate clash between the White Walkers and the humans. Turns out, Daenerys Targaryen and Jon Snow have the greatest chance of survival with 32 percent votes in their favor.
In a poll run by Express.co.uk, viewers rated couples according to their perception of survival in the wacky world of 'Game of Thrones'.
Fans have also predicted that Arya Stark and Gendry might end up together, and survive the onslaught supporting the popular theory. The adorable couple Gilly and Samuel Tarly ended up in the second position with 27 percent vote.
However, the polling has actually set apart the favorite couples from the least favorite ones. The incestuous Lannister twins, Jaime Lannister and Cersei Lannister have gained only two percent of the votes, probably a hinting fact for Cersei to actually consider joining forces with the Starks and the Mother of Dragons if she has to save her Iron Throne from the White Walkers. However, Jaime might have better chances of survival with Brienne of Tarth as the couple stands with a five percent vote.
The subtle love of Missandei and Grey Worm, too, seems to fall short of gaining popularity since readers have voted that the couple's survival chances are only three percent. The madcap couple Brienne and Tormund Giantsbane stand at a survival chance rate of five percent, whereas Sansa Stark and Gendry stand at 10 percent.
While fans rate the couples' fate of 'Game of Thrones,' one man might still hold the rein in his hands to turn the game for his sister, Cersei. Tyrion Lannister, the man who changed sides to only witness just another incestuous relationship develop, might actually be the half-brother of Daenerys Targaryen making him another option of being the Promised Prince, after Jon Snow. He might want to persuade Cersei for one last time in Season 8, to withdraw from King's Landing and join forces with the King of the North. Peter Dinklage, who plays Tyrion in 'Game of Thrones', reportedly said, "It was heartbreaking, and the end of an era", as season 8 might result to the death of one of his siblings.
Sansa Stark might too have better chances of survival if the theory goes true that she ultimately ends up with Tyrion Lannister who might be the third rider of the dragons with Jon and Daenerys. It might be true as the fact remains that during the War of Roses (on which 'Game of Thrones' is based) the war was ended by Henry Tudor marrying Elizabeth of York, members of the two houses Lancasters (Lannisters) and Yorks (Starks).
